Support the SFFD

Help Us Do More!

Make a tax deductible donation to the SFFD to strengthen our COVID-19 Response and the Communities Recovery. The SFFD as part of the City and County of San Francisco can accept tax-deductible monetary contributions for the department's COVID-19 outbreak, fire and emergency medical and disaster response efforts to assistance to individuals, families, small businesses, and nonprofits in San Francisco. See a list of our generous donors and community partners. 

Why donate?

Your tax-deductible donations will help protect the health of San Francisco and support the most vulnerable, including individuals, families, and local businesses.

Donations will directly support:

  • Critical facilities and supplies needed to protect the health of all San Franciscans in the face of COVID-19.

  • Taking care of our most medically and economically vulnerable neighbors, including individuals who must isolate per public health guidance and those facing economic hardship or a housing crisis related to COVID-19.

  • Local residents or visitors disproportionately affected by the current public health crisis.  

Donations of any amount can be made. Donations over $100 will be acknowledged on the SFFD website.
